Search Service
SharePoint Server
Search is a service application which we have come to learn about over the past
few articles that it is independent of other services and is no longer tied to
the Shared Services Provider (SSP) that was introduced in SharePoint 2007.
SharePoint 2010 search
architecture is made up of the Crawler, Indexing Engine, Query Engine and the
User Interface and Query Object Model. We now have greater flexibility
and expandability with our search design in 2010 and can setup not only multiple
Query Servers but can now scale out our Index server and add multiple
instances.
This service crawls
content for the search index. This service is automatically started on all
servers that run search topology components. The service cannot be stopped or
started from the Services on Server page. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502597.aspx
Secure Store Service
The Secure Store Service is an
authorization service that runs on an application server. The Secure Store
Service provides a database that is used to store credentials. These
credentials usually consist of a user identity and password, but can also
contain other fields that you define. For example, SharePoint Server 2013 can
use the Secure Store database to store and retrieve credentials for access to
external data sources. The Secure Store Service provides support for storing
multiple sets of credentials for multiple back-end systems.
State Service
The State Service Application is often
overlooked by SharePoint administrators. It is a common source of errors in the
server application logs when missing from the farm. As the name implies, this
service application maintains state for
user sessions and many out of the box features.
If you want to know the health and
status of your SharePoint farm, you need to get this service application up and
running. Unlike the Web Analytics Service Application from SharePoint 2010
User and Health Data Collection
Service
Usage and Health Data Collection Service
Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm. This information
is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web
Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection
Service Application or your Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped,
you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report.
User Profile Service
The user profile service provides out
SharePoint farm with all the social networking features plus more. This stores
information about users in a central location. In order to provision My Sites, enable social computing features
such as social tagging and newsfeeds, and create and distribute profiles across
multiple sites and farms, you must enable the User Profile service application.
Visio Graphics Service
The Visio Graphics

Claims
to Windows Token Service
The Claims to Windows Token Service (c2WTS) is a feature of
Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). The c2WTS extracts user principal name (UPN)
claims from non-Windows security tokens, such as SAML and X.509 tokens, and
generates impersonation-level Windows security tokens. This allows a relying
party application to impersonate the user. This might be needed to access
back-end resources, such as Microsoft SQL Servers, that are external to the
computer running the relying party application. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee539091.aspx
Distributed Cache
The Distributed Cache service provides caching features in
SharePoint Server 2013. The microblog features and feeds rely on the
Distributed Cache to store data for very fast retrieval across all entities.
